In this rather fab and ferociously funny video from 2019, award-winning Scottish stand-up comedian Larry Dean takes on comedian, actor, writer, and presenter Tom Allen  (also an award-winner) in Roast Battle on  Comedy Central TV.

If you have never seen one before, you should know this is where comedians take turns to verbally abuse and insult each other. This is done in front of a live audience and a panel of judges (usually made up of other comedians) who decide who the winner is.

With Dean and Akken both being gay added a frisson in their episode in Season Three, and both are wickedly funny with literally no holds barred with their rapid-fire wit
